MMRDA Plans ₹110 Crore Six-Lane Bridge in Kalyan
What happened
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority asked the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation to prepare a Detailed Project Report for a new six-lane bridge over the Ulhas River in Kalyan. The project is estimated to cost around ₹110 crore and aims to ease traffic congestion between Ambivli and Shahad. This plan follows a demand raised by the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation Mayor, who sought MMRDA funding for the infrastructure project.

Why it matters
The construction of the new bridge is intended to improve connectivity between several developing areas in Kalyan, including Vadavli, Ambivli, and Titwala. The project addresses the inability of the existing narrow bridge to cope with increasing traffic volume due to rapid urbanization.
